INTRODUCTION

Issues that this hotfix package fixes

Assume that you click the Create with Projects command to create a timesheet for your current projects in Office Project Server 2007. In this situation, the timesheet that you create includes all the projects that are assigned to you instead of only your current projects.

Consider the following scenario:

You create a timesheet that contains a task and you set yourself as the assignment owner.

You change the task assignment owner to another resource.

You click the Import Timesheets button on the Import Timesheet page.

In this scenario, the import process fails.

Assume that you create a task that contains a cost resource and a work resource in an Office Project Server 2007 project. When you try to publish the project, the Reporting job takes a long time to finish.

Consider the following scenario:

You create a new task in a project and assign yourself to the task.

You publish the project in Office Project Server 2007.

You use the timephased view on the My Tasks page in Office Project Web Access.

You input an invalid actual work value for the task in the timephased view.

You submit the invalid value.

In this scenario, you receive a message that confirms the value was successfully submitted. Instead, you should receive the following error message:

Your changes cannot be saved because of errors. Correct the errors in the grid above, and then save your work again.

When you use the Project Server Interface (PSI) to edit a plan in Office Project Server 2007, you may receive the following error message:

Arithmetic operation resulted in an overflow.

You cannot set the actual cost value for an assignment when you use the PSI in Office Project Server 2007.

Consider the following scenario:

You set the regional settings to a locale other than English (United States) in Office Project Web Access.

You use the DD/MM/YY format to input a date value in a date type custom field for a project.

You save the project.

You edit the project and save it again.

In this scenario, the DateTime format is changed to MM/DD/YY.

Note This issue occurs after you install the hotfix package that is described in Microsoft Knowledge Base article 2412269.
